I would like to congratulate and thank the EA Technology Team for a highly professional, intensely engaging and strongly attended Event. The Forum successfully attracts Senior Power Engineers together sharing and shaping innovation, improvement and experiences combined with candid discussions of industry “pain-points” and appropriate responses.
These challenges included arc flash protection, cable duct sealing, competency complacency, predictive v reactive maintenance and adoptable guidance on ensuring documentation, policy and procedure are fit-for-purpose in the context of rapid and dynamic industry change.
The Event readily facilitated productive introductions to the highest-level KDM’s responsible for high voltage power reliability across all sectors of the economy.
We would not hesitate to recommend or attend future events organised by the EA Technology Team and look forward to future collaboration.
